OPERATING INFORMATION
WARNING
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is
unoccupied.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transfer-
ring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health care professional BE-
FORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may cause
the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheel-
chair may tip over.
DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to
reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters toward the object you are transferring onto. When
transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.

means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or
damage to the wheelchair.

NON-RECLINERS ONLY: Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are
an option on this wheelchair (You may order with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare strongly
recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the release button of the anti-tipper fully protrudes
out of the hole on the bottom of the wheelchair frame.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
When changing the seat-to-floor height, the height of the anti-tippers must be adjusted as well.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your SEAT POSITIONING STRAP. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP is an option on
this wheelchair (You may order with or without the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP), Invacare strongly recom-
mends ordering the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
